At Fix 7, you will see the rivers
splitting. The Chickamin River goes off to the right and the Leduc, which we
will be following goes off to the left. At fix 7, turn to the left and set your
heading for 353 and fly straight for about 3 miles to what looks like the end
of this valley. You will then turn to starboard.

Fix 8 - The River Basins Diverge

At Fix 8, you will turn to starboard
setting a heading for 020, but you will only fly this heading shortly as the
river quickly bends back to port. This is the Leduc River coming toward us fro
the left with the Chickamin River veering off to the right.

Fix 9 - Round the Bend

At Fix 9 follow the bend around to
port on a heading of 341 for about 3 miles. Your next turn will follow the river
basin a little to starboard to fly a straight section of the basin. We are now
in the Leduc River Basin and will follow it to its source, the foot of the Leduc
Glacier 20 miles ahead and 5500 feet above us.

Fix 10 - Continue to follow the Leduc
Basin

At Fix 10 -Change your heading to
009 and follow this heading up the river for 4 miles. You'll be following the
curves in the river as that become a little more frequent as we near the glacier.

Fix 11 - Continue the Turns

At Fix 11 -Correct your heading to
344 for and maintain it for 2.7 miles.

Fix 12 - Start your climb to the
Glacier

Change your heading back to 009 for
3.6 miles ... continuing to wind you way along the basin following the meandering
Leduc River.

BEGIN INCREASING YOUR ALTITUDE
TO 6000 FEET at a 700 fpm rate.

Fix 13 - Continue Increasing your
Altitude

At Fix 13, set a heading of 037 and
CONTINUE INCREASING ALTITUDE TO 6000 feet at 700 fpm. You will continue this
heading for 3 miles. We are about 6 miles from the glacier.

Fix 14 - Glacier comes into Sight

At Fix 14, make a turn toward starboard
setting your heading at 072. Once you make the turn, you will see the foot of
the Leduc Glacier coming down the mountain above you, continue to increase your
altitude. Your next course correction is 3 miles ahead, only a slight adjustment
in heading to port.

Fix 15 - Over the Foot

At Fix 15, change your heading slightly
to 064 to stay over the center of the glacier's foot ... continue climbing (you'll
be glad you did!).

Fix 16 - Follow the Foot

At Fix 16, turn left to a heading
of 357 to follow the curve of the glacier, be ready for a turn to starboard
as the glaciers turns. Follow this for about 2 miles. As you reach the summit
of the glacier you will notice a "nanatuk" straight ahead of you.

Nanatuks appear as bare rock islands
extending above the surface of the surrounding glacier. Examples of "nunataks"
can be seen north of the Chickamin Glacier. Mount John Jay, Mount Upshur,
and other prominent peaks over 6,500 feet high line the International Border.

Fix 17 - A Tricky Turn to the
Right

At Fix 17, you are at the summit
of the glacier, you will see a rounded hump just to starboard, you will want
to fly to the right around that hump changing your heading to 179. On this heading,
you will fly down the Leduc Glacier heading for the Soule Glacier. You will
maintain this heading for 7 miles. If you would like to land on the glacier,
there are several safe places on this particular leg of the flight.

Fix 18 - Crossing the Chickamin
Glacier and the Through Glacier

At this fix, set your heading for
179 degrees. Maintain your altitude flying this leg for 7 miles. You will be
crossing the Chickamin Glacier ... look down into the valley on the right and
you will see the Chickamin River Basin miles below, a beautiful view on a clear
day. Ahead, you will see the Through Glacier. There are some good places to
land on this glacier also.

Fix 19 - Turning down the Through
Glacier

Over the center of the Through Glacier,
turn leftto a heading of 118 and maintain this course for 6 miles. At the end
of this glacier we will be turning to the right onto the Soule Glacier. As you
approach the turn to the Soule Glacier, look over the edge and you will see
"No Name Lake," a jewel of a lake nestled in the valley below. It
is at an altitude of only 606 feet.

Fix 20 - The Soule Glacier

Turn right over the Soule Glacier,
to a heading of 142. You should begin reducing altitude.

BEGIN REDUCING ALTITUDE - Set
altitude for 1200 feet descending at a rate of 900 fpm.

Fix 21 - The foot of the Soule
Glacier

Fly a heading of 125 over the foot
of the Soule Glacier and on down to the melt waters that form the Soule River.
We will follow the Soule River to its outfall in the Portland Canal, about 6
miles from here. Continue your descent toward 1200 feet at 900 fpm. Don't forget
to reduce your engine revs so you do not overspeed.

Fix 22 - Hayford Mountain and
the Portland Canal

Turn to 088. The large mountain passing
to your right is Hayford Mountain. Ahead you can see the outfall of the Soule
River into the beautiful Portland Canal. We will be flying out over the Portland
Canal and turning to port to line up for an approach at Stewart, BC.

Fix 23 - Lining up for Approach to
Stewart, BC

Fly almost across the Portland Canal,
then turn to port to a heading of 003. This will line you up for your approach
at Stewart, BC. Adjust altitude accordingly for a safe landing. As you approach
Stewart, the Salmon River outfall will appear on your left. These are the melt
waters from the Salmon Glacier some 5000 feet above you. The Salmon River is
one of the best salmon fishing rivers in the world. The small community beside
the outfall is Hyder, AK.

Welcome to Stewart, BC ... we
hope you enjoyed your flight.

If you have not yet flown the Chickamin
River Route, you can download the route from the top table. If you don't want
to fly the first 6 fixes again, then you can fly direct to Fix 6 and use the
information listed below for the Chickamin River flight. You will find it is
an entirely different scenery, just as beautiful and you will see several glaciers
you've not yet seen.
